    Not really a crazy story, but:

    I am exceptionally good at chess, and have zero recollection of ever having learned how to play it. No memory whatsoever of who taught me, or ever learning what the individual pieces do- let alone strategy.

    And I don’t drink and don’t do drugs, so it couldn’t have happened during the blurry years many have.

      Do you know what your rating would approximately be in chess? I’m wondering just how good you are with no memory of learning it.

          Ah alright, fair enough. I was wondering how you knew you were exceptionally good and that’d be a pretty surefire way to know how good you are lol

        Never went down that path. I don’t play often. And I’m not at all an enthusiast. I just know how to play and have no clue how I know.
